Let's take a trip back to 2006. I was poised to embark on a tour with Hard-Fi when I got an email from the guys at Trojan asking if I could do a dub mix for a re-release of Harry J's Liquidator. Off I went to Kensington for a pub lunch with their label boss, plus Ad from Trojan Soundsystem and inexplicably Justin Robertson who was passing through on his way to a meeting with Elton John's manager round the corner.
So now I'm back in the studio aloft Stoneleigh Mountain, I'm told the snag is there aren't actually any multitracks to the original and I have one day to get it in. I considered declining but the prospect of having my name on a Trojan release won me over and I set to work that night armed only with the original record and the acapella from the Trojan Soundsytem version and knocked this up over night catching an hour or so of sleep before boarding the tour bus.
I've actually never been that happy with the result but other folks seem to like this mess of synths, bleeps, and overlaid drum tracks, so in honour of the late and very very great Harry J who's now jamming at the big mixing desk in the sky, here's my long out of print Liquid Rock Dub.
